The objective of assessing the efficiency of a shell and tube cooler-type heat exchanger is to evaluate its performance, determining compliance with design specifications and identifying the need for cleaning and maintenance. The utilized heat exchanger, of the shell and tube type, employs water as its cooling source. According to design calculations conducted between September 13 and September 18, 2023, the expected efficiency of the cooler-type heat exchanger is 91.44%. However, actual data analysis over six days reveals a significant drop in efficiency, registering below 50%. A comparison between design and actual data suggests a decline in efficiency for the E-2502 cooler type. The decrease is attributed to substantial scaling in the E-2502 Heat Exchanger, stemming from the cooled P2O5 Acid solution and resulting in deposition during the heat transfer process. Consequently, it is imperative to initiate a cleaning process for the cooler-type heat exchanger to optimize the heat transfer mechanism.","PeriodicalId":159477,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanical Engineering Technologies and Applications","volume":"61 25","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140476584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electrolysis is a method for breaking water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen by using an electric current. Electrolysis does not require complicated equipment and systems, so it can be said to be the easiest method of producing hydrogen. But of the various methods for producing hydrogen, the electrolysis method is not widely used because of its low efficiency. Because of this, many efforts have been made with the aim of increasing hydrogen production in the electrolysis of water. In this paper, we use Bisphenol-A-Polycarbonate (BPA) compounds obtained from unused CD-R layers. BPA has aromatic compounds that have been tested by FTIR. Aromatic compounds can generate their own magnetic field; this magnetic field is used to disrupt hydrogen bonds in water so that the electrolysis process can be more optimal. It is also known that, on the surface of BPA, it has a tendency to be positively charged by FESEM testing. The predominantly positive BPA surface works effectively to attract OH- ions. This causes a lot of H+ ions to move freely so that the solution becomes more acidic, which results in easier mobility of electric currents. With the addition of 3 grams of BPA, it can produce 46% more ppm of hydrogen than conventional.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":159477,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanical Engineering Technologies and Applications","volume":"199 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124453437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As fluid flows over the blades, pressure changes occur at the nozzle, which increases the fluid's velocity and reduces the static pressure at the nozzle outlet. The high-momentum fluid then impinges on the rotor blades, generating frictional force and resulting in torque production. To study the impact of blade shape and number on the turbine's performance, simulations were conducted. The results indicate that blades with an angle of 0° and 180° are optimal for creating high-pressure vortices on the concave surface of the blade. Addition-ally, more blades always result in higher torque and power out-put by increasing the active area of the blades. However, in the case of blades with an angle of 0° and 180°, 8 blades produced more torque than 12 blades with an angle of 0° and 90°.
